This recipe has been a revolution. Being able to serve up the kids one of their most favourite side dishes especially when first went paleo was extremely satisfying. We have modified it to fit with the ingredients we normally have in the house and we still allow a little full fat dairy. I have put […]

Well, this is so yum that we could finish the loaf in one session! But we try and hold out for two! It’s great fresh from the oven with butter, cold with butter or even better, toasted with butter. Notice the theme here. We are definitely one buttery household. This recipe came from a our […]

This recipe is also requested often and again it has a beautiful, moist texture and a rich fruity taste. The original recipe is from the Elana’s Pantry – www.elanaspantry.com. The recipe I have noted below has the changes that I make to her recipe to best suit our tastes for fruit cake. Plus I only […]

Well this one is just lovely. Super lovely. Friends that pop over for coffee never know that there isn’t any wheat flour in this luscious cake, nor is there much sugar. Just the sweet taste of banana. Again, we use some dairy but you could experiment with coconut milk and fat if you wanted to […]

Seeing as it’s almost pancake day I thought that I would share our recipe for paleo/primal pancakes. We allow some full fat dairy to the foods we eat but I guess you could sub out the cream for coconut milk, almond milk, coconut water, water or I’ve even seen some recipes using liquids like coffee […]

Chocolate brownie is a staple in our house, particularly for my girls lunch boxes. This recipe is totally delicious and even better anyone I’ve served it to hasn’t even questioned whether this is one of our ‘weird’ paleo recipe lol. It’s a little more cakey than traditional non-primal brownie but still has a moist consistency. […]

Sounds good right! Fresh berries, fried donuts, cream – yum yum yum. I couldn’t think of a better name for this pudding but as many of my recipes seem to be these days, this is the result of a happy accident. The girls camped out in the back garden the other night and since […]

Can you believe that I am sat at the beach typing away on my laptop in the car while my girls have a surfing lesson??!! As it’s during the school holidays and I’ve already taken three, yes I said three, weeks off work, I thought it best that I at least work an hour or […]

First beetroot harvest today – yeehaa!! Can’t believe it, they actually grew despite my absolutely rubbish basic gardening skills such as just keeping them watered! We planted four varieties of beetroot so long ago now that I can’t even remember what they are. I’ll describe by colour, normal red, white, yellow and there was meant […]

About Us

We're an everyday urban family changing it up a little so that we can enjoy life's adventures for the longest time to come :) Since 2010 our journey began with back garden chickens, no-dig gardens, a paleo-primal lifestyle and now permaculture. All of these things combined have had a truly amazing effect on our lives and we wanted people to know that you don't need masses of money, horticulture knowledge or land for that matter to try out all these wonderful things yourselves :)
